AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
314 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2003
FORECAST CHALLENGES...FOR THE LONG TERM IT WILL BE TO DETERMINE THE
CHANCES OF CONVECTION THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO MONDAY AS WELL AS
TEMPS IN A UNSEASONABLE PATTERN.
CURRENTLY...AN UNSEASONABLE UPPER PATTERN PERSISTS ACROSS THE
REGION. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED THAT MOST OF THE ENERGY ASSOCIATED
WITH THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE REGION WAS WELL EAST OF THE FORECAST
AREA. ON THE SURFACE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
OCCURRING OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...MAINLY ALONG
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. CLEARING HAS BEGUN IN THE DELTA.
SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...
THE GFS MODEL INITIALIZED THE CONVECTION A LITTLE BETTER THEN THE ETA
MODEL. THIS EVENING THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA AS HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPS FROM THE NORTHWEST. WILL PUT
BEST LOW SCATTERED POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST FOR TONIGHT...AND ISOLATED
POPS...EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHWEST...MAINLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT. THE FRONT
HANGS UP JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY. MODELS DISAGREE ON HOW
FAR SOUTH TO PUT IT AND ON QUICKNESS OF MOISTURE RETURN. WITH LITTLE
UPPER SUPPORT TO COMPLETELY CLEAR IT FROM THE REGION...TRENDING MORE
TOWARD ETA WITH THE UPPER SHORTWAVE PUSHING THE BOUNDARY NORTH AND
BRINGING RAIN CHANCES IN FOR LATE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
LONG TERM DISCUSSION...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
UNSEASONABLE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD WITH
A BROAD TROUGH OVER MOST OF THE PERIOD...UNTIL TUESDAY AS FLAT UPPER
RIDGING DEVELOPS FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. ON FRIDAY A COLD FRONT
WILL BE APPROACHING THE REGION WITH GOOD MEAN MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. THE FRONT WILL NOT MAKE IT
INTO THE FORECAST AREA AS IT PUSHES BACK TO THE NORTH IN SOUTHERLY FLOW ON
SATURDAY. GFS PAINTS SEVERAL THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES COMING THROUGH
THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER FRONT WILL BE PUSHING INTO THE REGION
LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THE CONVECTION WILL FINALLY DRY OUT ON
MONDAY EVENING. DRY WEATHER WILL BE ON TAP FOR TUESDAY. THE EUROPEAN
MODELS AND ENSEMBLE MEANS HAD THE SIMILAR UPPER AND SURFACE PATTERN
FEATURES TO THE GFS. THE NOGAPS MODEL PUSHED THE FIRST FRONT THROUGH
THE REGION...BUT WAS MORE ISOLATED WITH THE ASSOCIATED CONVECTION.
THE CANADIAN MODEL WAS ALSO GENERALLY SIMILAR...EXCEPT IT MOVED THE
SECOND FRONT INTO THE EARLIER ON SUNDAY. SO WITH THIS IN MIND WILL KEEP
CONVECTION IN FRIDAY UNTIL MONDAY EVENING AND PUT IN PARTLY CLOUDY
ON TUESDAY. WILL CLOSE TO MEX TEMPS.

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS .DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY... ...THUNDERSTORMS... ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI THIS EVENING. A COLD FRONT OVER CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI WILL STALL OVER NIGHT ALONG THE LOUISIANA...MISSISSIPPI STATE LINE SOUTH OF NATCHEZ. EXPECT THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE INTO THE LATE EVENING NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS WILL CAUSE PONDING ON AREA ROADS. THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO RETROGRADE TO THE NORTH WEDNESDAY ALLOWING FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY OVER EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA AND WESTERN MISSISSIPPI. THE PRIMARY RISKS WITH THE STORMS WILL BE WIND GUST TO 40 MILES AN HOUR...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND POSSIBLE SMALL HAIL. ...FLOODING... MOISTURE LEVELS TONIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN PARTICULARLY HIGH ACROSS SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. STORMS FORMING IN THIS AREA WILL HAVE AN ENHANCED POTENTIAL FOR PRODUCING HEAVY DOWNPOURS...AND RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH SOME STORMS COULD EXCEED ONE INCH. PONDING OF WATER UPON ROADWAYS AND OTHER LOW LYING AREAS IS POSSIBLE IN SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING AS THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY CONTINUES. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY... ...DAYS TWO AND THREE... NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. ...DAYS FOUR THROUGH SEVEN... ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT SHOULD APPROACH THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY LATE FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY. THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE AREA SHOULD BE MOIST AND UNSTABLE BY THIS TIME...BUT WIND FIELDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE RELATIVELY WEAK...AS WELL AS THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT. THEREFORE...WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO SATURDAY ALTHOUGH ISOLATED STORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI DURING THIS TIME FRAME COULD BE LOCALLY STRONG. A STRONGER SYSTEM LOOKS TO AFFECT THE AREA LATER IN THE WEEKEND WITH A MORE SUBSTANTIAL COLD FRONT NOW EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MONDAY. AT THIS TIME THERE IS A MUCH GREATER POSSIBILITY THAT THE COMBINATION OF UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS...MOISTURE...AND WIND SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM COULD BRING SEVERE WEATHER TO PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL...IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS...WILL NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH TONIGHT.
